Andrew Bennie replied to Steve G.'s topic in The Start Line
I am driving a Westfield Sport 250, one of the last if not the last produced by the original factory. Now midway through building an AK Cobra with my eldest son Simon . See the Replica and Self Build Festival 2026 at carshowco.com -

I didn't realise Ron Champion had passed. I met him at his workshop/showroom in Peterborough many years ago whilst building my own Locost. Myself and my long suffering wife had been shopping and decided to turn up on the off-chance he was about. He was, and we spent the best part of 2 hours chatting about all things Locost and kit cars in general! I also got a new copy of the second edition of the book from him, which he gladly signed. My old copy of the first edition was getting quite well used! He seemed quite bemused by the success of the book and the number of people currently "in-build". An absolute Gentleman and, in my eyes, a true legend of the kit car industry. Rest In Peace Ron. -

It's a Shark Raw but the Shark Street Drak looks almost identical. Plenty on eBay -

Good point, I've yet to try my new carbon lid in the Westie. But this is what I normally wear. It definitely doesn't foul in my car, the back is nice and round,no fins etc -

How childish - of course not. However, I do offer a tyre inflation service where the front tyres are set to 10 psi and the rears to 70 psi so the benefactor spins under the lightest of throttles. -
I have a caged car with aeroscreen, so my son and I wear helmets on longer journeys. We have bike helmets, but found they foul the seat headrest so you end up sitting in a weird position with your head forward. As they are bike helmets, they have slight fins on the back making it worse (see photo) What car helmets do people recommend? Ideally looking for low cost, as it’s for simple wind / face protection not on motorsport…

Do you offer a 'tyre letting down' service to make it tricky for some members to leave the show? I have a few mates in mind if the price is right -

Apologies Al, glad you sold them. Now where were we.... This is the 2nd time recently I've seen in here bad news about insurance underwriters, last time it was Markerstudy who I'm with via AIB. All a bit worrying tbh -
